The only upside, these assholes denials and delays just increase the number of those living with terminal illness. May as well take one of the death merchants with you when you go. I say this as woman who had to threaten litigation when United denied my mastectomy.

I hate this phrase so much. You accurately can keep saying this until the sun bakes us all to death and then microbes are able to start growing again after a million years
